76% of Africa's energy could potentially come from renewable sources by 2040, according to a new study. The research, which analyzed Africa's Renewable Power Plant Database, suggests that a combination of hydropower, solar, and wind energy resources could provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. With declining costs for solar photovoltaics and wind turbines, solar and wind power are emerging as more promising sustainable options. The study also emphasizes the importance of transnational electricity sharing arrangements and open, location-specific data for the development of an integrated sustainable renewable energy mix.
